A very special place to eat with a superb chef. The food is divine and the pricing is very reasonable. $45 for two. $60 for two with wine. So honestly, you won't be disappointed, it's clean the service is prompt and I'm sure there are nights that it's quiet and romantic.....

But that's why it's not perfect because EVERYBODY knows about it. This place will always be busy because there are so many people and since they don't take reservations, you can be sure that whenever you go it's going to be crowded.

Awesome food. Great prices. They bring fresh bread to your table and salad comes with most entrees. They also have a lot of fun drinks - different flavored martinis and mixed drinks.

The only annoying thing is that they don't take reservations. I believe they do have a call ahead list, so just remember to call before you go. I tried to go there recently on a Saturday night and there was a 35-40 minute wait.

“great place”

Reviewed November 5, 2012

We had dinner at Olazzo on Sat night and we had a great experience. 3 of us got there at 6:30 and we got the last table for 5 of us. The other two were delayed in traffic for awhile but the waiter and hostess didn't make us feel uncomfortable at all for waiting. We all loved our food and some of us followed other reviewers and ordered the rose sauce and it was delicious. The ravioli was the best I have ever had. I could actually taste all the cheeses in the ravioli which usually doesn't happen. We were all very happy. We had an 18% tip added on which is unusual for a party of 5 and we would have left more than 20%, but really like restaurant and will return.

“One of my fav places in bethesda!”

Reviewed October 17, 2012

Honestly-- coming from an italian... excellent food! The meatball salad is delicious-- also their pink sauce is do die for. It is very telling when there is a restaurant without endless choices. For example, it is almost impossible to master it all. Also, when I am going out to eat at an italian restaurant-- it is nice to see a limited amount of entree choices but not resembling a diner. Olazzo also has great martinis! The space is small but worth going for the food. Service was alright.

“Good food at a very reasonable price”

Reviewed September 26, 2012

We were staying at a hotel in Bethesda, and we asked the desk clerk for a recommendation for a good restaurant with reasonable prices within walking distance. He suggested Olazzo. The prices there were darn good for Bethesda - entrees were in the $13 - $16 range. We ordered the Chicken Cardinale (on recommendation of the waiter) and the Chicken Parmesean. Both were very good and the portions were were big. You get a small garden salad and bread with your meal. The salad was ok, but the bread was hot and delicious (and they provide a dip of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for the bread). The atmosphere was very comfortable. We left full and content with our eating experience.
